Observational Drawings

Here are two more observational pieces of the pomegranate I had, the one to the left has been created using inks and watercolours on a surface that I made with masking tape over a piece of card. I decided to use this material because I wanted the inks and water to go into the small cracks and be stored to show darker areas of the ink. I used bold colours to show the bright and exciting inside of the fruit and also because of my pieces before these were basic colours and I wanted to add these in to show a true representation of the real pomegranate. I have used line strongly here as I firstly drew the basic outline of the seeds inside and then I filled the areas in with different water colours that match the real thing. I really liked using this piece, as this is my first coloured piece and I wanted to add colour into my work so I could move on with my work.

This piece has been created using lots of different techniques, for example the surface that I was working on was just the normal card and nothing else, as I wanted to get a smooth base to work on with my ink and ink and also then I could control where the ink was going and be able to prevent it spilling to other places, so that I could keep the circle form of the pomegranate. Once I had added the ink onto the page and it had dried I then added biro qualities onto the page to show the interesting shapes and areas, so that the viewer can be taken on a journey around the page.
